\"\"Una nueva investigaci\u00f3n sugiere que la raz\u00f3n por la cual algunas personas no puedan evitar ser amables, es porque en su ADN hay un par de genes receptores: las hormonas oxitocina y caosopresina que provoca que se comporten de forma agradable casi en todo momento.<\/p>\n

Para evaluarlo, los investigadores de la Universidad de Buffalo, en Estados Unidos, a cargo de Michael Poulin, indicaron que se tomaron a personas al azar y se les aplic\u00f3 un cuestionario sobre si percib\u00edan al mundo como un lugar amenazador o no, y a la vez, se evalu\u00f3 qu\u00e9 tanto ayudaban a otras personas.<\/p>\n

Finalmente, seg\u00fan los resultados publicados en Psycholigical Science, se encontr\u00f3 que aquellos que percib\u00edan al mundo como un lugar inseguro y amenazador ayudaban menos a las personas, sin embargo, si ten\u00edan los genes receptores s\u00ed se portaban amables con los dem\u00e1s. Esto podr\u00eda explicar por qu\u00e9 hay personas m\u00e1s amables que otras, dijo el investigador. Sin embargo, tambi\u00e9n aclar\u00f3 que este hallazgo no significaba que hubiesen encontrado el gen de la felicidad, sino s\u00f3lo un receptor que puede ayudar a que las personas tengan na conducta m\u00e1s amable.<\/p>\n

\nOur DNA May Help Decide How Nice We Are<\/p>\n

Partly, a new study suggests, but genes don’t tell the whole story. The new research adds to the evidence linking specific genes to kindness and generosity, but these traits were also influenced by views about whether the world was a threatening or non-threatening place.<\/p>\n

So although DNA may influence behavior, people do not come pre-programmed to be kind or mean or altruistic or selfish, says lead researcher Michael Poulin, PhD, of the University at Buffalo.<\/p>\n

\u00abWe are not just puppets of our genes,\u00bb Poulin tells WebMD. \u00abGenes influence niceness in combination with perceptions of social threat, which come from our past and present experiences.\u00bb Poulin and colleagues from the University at Buffalo and the University of California, Irvine, focused their research on the closely related hormones oxytocin and vasopressin, which have previously been linked to social behaviors, including love, generosity, and empathy.<\/p>\n

They wanted to find out how expression of the two genes interacted with people’s experiences and feelings to affect behavior. To do this, they surveyed people via the Internet about their views on civic responsibility, such as whether they considered it their duty to report crimes or pay taxes, and whether they participated in charitable activities such as giving blood or attending PTA meetings.<\/p>\n

The study participants were also asked if they viewed other people as basically \u00abgood\u00bb or \u00abbad,\u00bb and if they saw the world as more \u00abthreatening\u00bb or \u00abnon-threatening.\u00bb<\/p>\n

About 700 of those who participated also provided saliva samples for DNA analysis, which showed whether they had the specific genetic receptors for oxytocin and vasopressin that have been linked to traits associated with niceness.<\/p>\n

People who reported finding the world to be a threatening place were generally less likely to exhibit social behaviors linked to niceness, such as charitable giving — unless they had these versions of the genes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
